To explain how the songstress and mega-trickster has had the last laugh with her new line, we'll need to take you on a semi-exciting stroll back in time to a basketball game in New York City three years ago. Don't worry, this story is a thrilling ride if you're into petty plans laid out over extensive time periods.

Taylor stepped out in Peak Swift Season - AKA Fall - in November 2014 wearing a pair of mustard trousers, black booties and a burgundy turtleneck sweater with an ~interesting~ triangle cut-out.

She drank beer (which we can probably assume was pumpkin-spiced), took cute photos with other stars including Amanda Seyfried and Kate Upton, and went on her way home unaware she had sparked a major online debacle.

Let's call this 'Exhibit A'

'Exhibit B'

It turns out, tumblr was having a field day with the ensemble, because Taylor had actually worn her #trendy top backwards by mistake. When fans attempted to defend the singer, writing that the sweater was 'reversible,' Taylor herself took to the platform to have a laugh about it.

As we've learnt repeatedly through the launch of Reputation, Tay is not one to let her awkward encounters and failures be used against her.

The singer released a new lookbook of merchandise yesterday, and the Internet is already losing it over one particular item. Along with a plethora of snake rings, and suspiciously Yeezy-looking sweaters and hats, there is a burgundy top on sale that looks kind of familiar...

Yep, if you drag Taylor for a fashion faux pas, it seems you can expect to see it in a merchandise line three whole years later.

Taylor Swift, Queen of reclaiming her narrative and having the last laugh.
